Chapter Forty-Eight: The Feast of the Hung Gate

Chapter 48 Hongmen Banquet

After the Qing Gang arrived on the outskirts of Yulin, they rested in place and sent a large number of eyeliners into the city to inquire about the news of Hongmen. `

According to the spies' report, Hongmen's troops in Yulin are close to 20,000! It can be said that Hongmen's defense of Yulin is now impregnable. Yulin City has two large districts, namely Yuzhou District and Fumian District. The main hall of Hongmen is set up in Yuzhou District, and there is also a large stronghold adjacent to it! In Fumian District, Hongmen has five halls and strongholds, which are divided into five major counties and cities in Fumian District, Rong County, 6 Sichuan County, Bobai County, Xingye County, and Beiliu City. Geographically, it is not difficult to see the size of Yulin, and its population is also the most densely populated large city in Guangxi Province.

After Meng Xun and Zhang Yi's troops were united, Meng Xun decisively relieved himself of his heavy responsibilities and handed over the command to Zhang Yi, letting the latter sit in Yuzhou, the headquarters of Hongmen!

Because Fumian District is too important and is the enemy's first target to attack, Hongmen sent most of the main force to the halls and strongholds in Fumian District, but Zhang Yi, who was sitting in the rear, actually did not have much manpower in his hands, and his main hall entrance and large stronghold together were only about 6,000 men.

Although it seems that Hongmen's approach hides a crisis. However, Zhang Yi didn't think so, in his opinion, if the enemy took the risk to attack the Hongmen Tangkou in Yuzhou, as long as he could hold it for an hour, once Meng Xun led the reinforcements to arrive, the enemy would be in danger of annihilation! Therefore, he was not worried about himself, but worried about whether Meng Xun's side could hold the offensive of the Qing Gang!

According to Hongmen's layout, if it is attacked, the Green Gang has almost no chance of winning. However, Yulin is the only way to Nanning, and only by crossing this hurdle can the Green Gang have a chance to seize the provincial capital of Guangxi!

For this reason, on the night of their arrival in Yulin, the Green Gang made a tentative attack.

However, Hongmen's defense was almost impeccable, and the Green Gang did not take advantage of it! In the end, after less than 20 minutes of fighting, the Green Gang withdrew early and returned the same way! In this battle, almost all the main high-level leaders of the Green Gang participated, but they did not personally go into battle or command, but only watched the battle from a distance to observe Hongmen's defense and overall layout.

After returning to the temporary stronghold of the Green Gang, Jian Yi and the others gathered together to discuss countermeasures!

In this battle, the Qing Gang has no way out, and there is only one way to go, defeating Hongmen! Otherwise, Shen Junyu's decision will end in failure, which is something that the Green Gang absolutely cannot tolerate!

Therefore, Shen Junyu also attached great importance to it, and he also participated in tonight's feint. However, after coming back, he kept frowning, didn't talk to others, and was thinking about something alone! When everyone gathered together, Lin Yuxin, Jian Yi and the others sat around the map to discuss, the latter noticed that Shen Junyu had not spoken. Seeing this, Jian Yi couldn't help but say: "Jun Yu, you've been like this since you came back! I know that you're thinking about a way to break the enemy, but your strength alone is limited after all, so let's discuss it with us!"

Hearing Jian Yi's words, Shen Junyu came back to his senses! When he thinks about things, he often falls silent in his own world! If others don't disturb him, he will keep thinking about it until he thinks about it clearly!

"Sister Yi, say it, I'll listen!" Shen Junyu said with a smile. `

Of course, his words were just perfunctory, but Jian Yi didn't mind! In fact, she discussed with Lin Yuxin and the others for a long time, and she didn't come up with any good ways to deal with Hongmen! But Shen Junyu thought about it alone for so long, I don't know if he thought of any good ideas? Thinking of this, Jian Yi couldn't help but say, "We haven't thought of any good plans yet, what about you?"

Shen Junyu smiled slightly, and said truthfully: "On the way back, I have been thinking about this question! It was not until just now that I thought of a way to break the enemy!"

Hearing his words, everyone in the room was shocked, including Jian Yi, because even a woman didn't come up with any plan to defeat Hongmen! But Shen Junyu could think of it, and this had to impress her! Without waiting for Jian Yi to ask him, Lin Yuxin was the first to ask: "Brother Shen, what can you think of?" Say it, let everyone listen to it, and see if it is feasible?!"

Shen Junyu nodded, and after looking around at the crowd, he said slowly: "Judging from Hongmen's defensive layout in Yulin, Meng Xun is the enemy we have to deal with first! And as long as we solve him, we can drive straight in! Although Zhang Yi is also powerful, if there is no Meng Xun, he alone will not be able to defend the entire Yulin! Therefore, our biggest threat now comes from Meng Xun, and my plan is against him!"

Everyone nodded while listening! At this time, Jian Yi couldn't help but interrupt: "This point, although what you said is correct, but how are we going to solve Meng Xun?!" Jian Yi's meaning, everyone didn't understand, Meng Xun, as one of the other party's commanders, must be the key protection object of Hongmen, how easy is it to kill him?

How could the shrewd Shen Junyu not know what Jian Yi meant? He shook his head with a smile and continued: "Sister Yi, I know that it is not easy to kill Meng Xun! Theoretically speaking, if we only rely on our attack, we will not be able to do this at all!"

"Then what do you mean......" From his words, Jian Yi seemed to hear something......

"Hongmen banquet ......," Shen Junyu said word by word.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Lin Yuxin shook her head and said vigorously: "No, no!

Shen Junyu looked at her with a smile and asked, "Yuxin, you said no?

Lin Yuxin didn't think about it, and replied: "Brother Shen, the situation is so tense now, and Meng Xun is a very smart person! In this case, he will definitely not accept the invitation of the party, and he will definitely not go to this Hongmen banquet!" Like Lin Yuxin, Yu Qishan, Long Tianyou and the others in the room all nodded secretly, obviously they had the same opinion as the woman.

Hearing this, Shen Junyu laughed, he first looked at Lin Yuxin, then at Jian Yi, and said to the latter: "Sister Yi, do you also think that Meng Xun will not go to this Hongmen banquet?"

Seeing this, everyone looked at Jian Yi again, and in the eyes of Lin Yuxin and the others, Jian Yi would most likely have the same thoughts as them! However, what is surprising is that Jian Yi's answer is not the same as what people think in their hearts!

"No, I think, Meng Xun should come!" Jian Yi said lightly, while staring at Shen Junyu!

Others can't guess what Shen Junyu is thinking, but how smart Jian Yi is, a little bit of the former, and the woman will think of the latter's thoughts! Indeed, judging from the current situation, if the party has already given Meng Xun an invitation to dinner, even if the latter has the courage to come, I am afraid that the other high-level leaders of Hongmen will not agree to let Meng Xun go to the appointment! After all, this is too dangerous! Moreover, what kind of person he is, I am afraid that the whole Hongmen will know it! However, if the Qinggang can't do this, it doesn't mean that others can't do it either!

Shen Junyu nodded secretly, he has always been very confident in his mind, and Jian Yi can see through his mind, which shows that women are also not simple! Although, the two often discussed the art of war before, but they were all on paper, but now it is actual combat, which is obviously more able to explain everything!

Without thinking too much, Shen Junyu said his plan in detail, including some small details, he had taken them into account! After he finished speaking, everyone in the room was amazed, and they appreciated Shen Junyu's trick Hongmen banquet, as if Meng Xun was now a "dead man"!
